Northern Lights
Chasing Northern Lights: A Journey of Change and Love
Lyrics
There’s no feeling like pissing in the ocean
Describing the unique sensation of doing something unconventional or uncommon, like urinating in the ocean.
Or cooking on an open flame
Enjoying the experience of cooking outdoors over an open flame.
Or walking on your 100th mile
Emphasizing the long journey or effort to reach a distant destination.
To a town you don’t even know the name
Traveling extensively, not knowing the destination's name, highlighting a spontaneous journey.
I just hopped on a plane, just looking for a change of pace
Boarding a plane impulsively, seeking a change in routine or scenery.
Everything forever changed
Repetition emphasizing a significant, lasting change resulting from the journey.
Forever changed
-Forever changed
-I want you
Expressing a desire to be with someone to witness the Northern Lights in Canada, enjoying a relaxed, intimate setting.
I won’t lie
-I’d take a train, or bus or fly
-To see the Northern lights
-In a Canadian Sky
-With a drink and a smoke
-Just you and I
-Feeling the pressure lately
Feeling overwhelmed recently.
I can barely bare the weight
Struggling to handle the burdensome emotions or responsibilities.
I’m taking stock, thinking a lot, and trying to get back into shape
Reflecting on life, evaluating choices, and aiming to improve oneself.
Over the Frances Mountains, I’m feeling the pain
Experiencing emotional distress while traveling through the Frances Mountains.
And it’s a long road to maintain
Recognizing the difficulty of maintaining a certain lifestyle or mindset.
I still gotta lotta life to live, too many Sundays stuck in bed
Regretting wasted time and seeking a departure from a routine.
The refuge from my office gig, I’d rather die than to settle
Desiring to escape a mundane office job and avoid settling for a life without passion.
Cause that’s just no way to live
Rejecting a mediocre existence as unacceptable.
The years fly fast, can’t believe the age I just passed
Feeling the swift passage of time and grappling with aging.
Can’t believe that many years ago my dad passed
Remembering a significant event, likely the death of the speaker's father.
I gotta make something of myself, for his ass
Feeling a responsibility to achieve something meaningful in honor of the father.
I walked on to the wrong train
Recalling an encounter where a connection was formed despite an initial mix-up, leading to sharing accommodations.
You asked me my name
-At the end of the day
-We were sharing a place to stay
-I want you
Reiteration of the desire to witness the Northern Lights with a loved one in a relaxed setting.
I won’t lie
-I’d take a train, or bus, or fly
-To see the Northern lights
-In a Canadian Sky
-With a drink and a smoke
-Just you and I
-Walked 500 miles, to get to a new head space
Describing a long journey to attain mental clarity or a new perspective.
My dreams had faded, couldn’t visualize that place
Struggling to imagine or foresee a different, better future.
I’d become content with day to day, monotony
Accepting a monotonous, unfulfilling routine as normal.
Life changing experience, committed, already gone
Committing to a transformative experience, leaving behind familiarity.
Left my home and what I knew, sometimes you just gotta move on
Recognizing the necessity of moving forward, leaving the past behind.
Never know when you’ll bump into a stranger, who sets you on a path
Acknowledging the unpredictability of life-changing encounters with strangers.
Felt like I was 12 years old, crushing on the pretty girl in math class
Revisiting feelings of adolescence, likening a significant encounter to a youthful crush.
What a trip, 40 days, Camino, if you got a blank page
Referencing a 40-day journey (Camino) and the transformative impact of having a blank slate to write one's story.
It changed my life, man. She did too.
Highlighting the profound impact of an experience or a person on the speaker's life.
You never know when the love bug will bite you
Emphasizing the unpredictable nature of love and its unexpected timing.
